| Juliet Stevenson's fine voice lends to her reading of Charlotte Bronte's Villete abridged form. Her last work revolves around a girls' school teacher and her attraction to a handsome doctor. While this is a highly regarded novel of Bronte's, it's also a lesser-known work and its appearance in audio promises newcomers the delight of Bronte's observational prowess wrapped in an engrossing audio format. | ” |
Teenage Sex and Pregnancy: Modern Myths, Unsexy Realities presents a unique view of its subject by analyzing the extensive myths and fears that surround discussion of teenage sex and pregnancy, including their relationship to popular culture, poverty, adult sexual behaviors, and anxieties toward the increasingly public roles of young women.
Award-winning author Mike Males argues that today's discussions rely largely on falsehoods and the suppression of crucial realities. His work details a new view of popular culture as a largely beneficial feature of teens' lives and presents a carefully documented analysis demolishing destructive myths about the "new girl." Debunking popular arguments, he shows that the "teen sex" debate is mired in interest-group talking points that ignore difficult realities to advance politically attuned agendas. It's time, he writes, to modernize the discussion, recognizing that teens act in ways consistent with their interests, with the sexual behaviors of adults, and with the school and job opportunities afforded them.

Last year the pharmaceutical industry had sales in excess of $300 billion. Clearly one way or another we all pay — whether we buy the drugs directly or through taxation. But is it less clear that we are getting value for money?
In one of the first independent investigations of the modern healthcare system, Jacky Law shows how a small number of corporations have come to dominate the healthcare agenda in Britain and America. She reveals a system in which the relentless pursuit of profit is crowding out the public good. Effective regulators are under intense pressure from corporate lobbies, and companies spend more money on marketing than they spend on research and development. Meanwhile the cost of new drugs rises relentlessly while the number of original new products declines.
All is not well with modern medicine. In what is both a diagnosis and a course of treatment, the author reveals a world where market considerations, not medical need, are determining the research agenda. She points to a future where the public and the medical profession once again have a voice in the kind of healthcare we want — and the healthcare we pay for.
